Our Commentary ​

We're always here for DX improvements, and pnpm delivering better interactive prompts is a win. That hoistingLimits setting is a nice touch for fine-tuning dependency management. It's the little things that make a big difference in daily workflow. I'm curious how many users will actually dive into those limits, but having the option is great.
